We discuss Fiscal sponsorship for the ZiP zine: enabling fundraising from tax deductable and avoiding fees from paypal are benefits of fiscal sponsorship

for more info look at fiscal sponsorship (add links here)

there is agreement to resolve to discuss this further and make sure the treasurer is present. R.A.Y.C brings up the idea of funding from local redev grants. Leif counters that we should not be in the habit of relying on grants -- because noisebridge is member and donation supported and grants could change the direction. deb brings up the possibility of looking for smaller grants that allow nonprofits to retain independance and member driven focus.

secretary-adjunct brings up the $300 funding request for electronics area improvements
